Monday’s game

Kansas City (1-7) at Pittsburgh (5-3)

When, where: 8:30 p.m., at Heinz Field.

TV, radio: ESPN, WEEI (93.7).

Line: Steelers by 12½.

Last meeting: Steelers won, 13-9, in Week 12 last season.

Of note: After a messy start to the season, Pittsburgh has gotten back on track by going back to its strengths. The Steelers have won four of their last five games, and in those victories they’ve averaged 147 yards rushing and given up an average of 15.7 points. It also doesn’t hurt that Ben Roethlisberger is completing passes at a career-best rate of 67.1 percent. The Chiefs are halfway to potentially getting the No. 1 pick in the 2013 draft; wherever they select, their choice will likely end the current quarterback catastrophe in Kansas City — Matt Cassel and Brady Quinn have combined for 14 interceptions, 8 fumbles, and a 64.8 passer rating.
